This is a clever idea.
What advantages do you think that it has over enabling the default package manager to work with different repositories?
Will you be doing any vetting / QA / security checks on the pet links that people provide?_________________Will

You didnt make it register with Petget if someone wants to uninstall it..

This was intentional - it replaces the jwm menu generator so if you uninstalled it fixmenus would no longer work. I plan to make a .pet uninstaller soon that will put it back to original state....There is a possibility to package it with an uninstall script though

For one thing anyone new to Puppy should be able to figure it out.
Currently I am only planning to include .pets from trusted packagers unless I check it out or package it myself either myself or via feed back in the forums (I am more than willing to share the burden though).

A while back I created a howto in the forums for creating a .pet from source called Pet Packaging 100, 101...Packages at the 101 standard will replace the ones at the 100 standard as they become available to avoid confusion about which package to install. (For instance I chose to include FirePup instead of older versions of Firefox)

For those of you who don't already know, I maintain the Puppy Web Desktop. Recently I had to shut it down due to the AntiVirus2009 bot taking it over. My latest backup was somewhat outdated so I am going to do a complete redesign of the web desktop and incorporate some concepts of "The Pound" into it. This seems to be a better solution since downloading .pets requires web access anyways and it is easier for me to maintain a single web page. In the end it will have the same functionality (although not as integrated to the desktop) The end result is that The Pound will be the Ubuntu equivalent of the Install/Remove (only complete GUI packages) and the Puppy Web Desktop will have more like the equivalent of Synaptic (all .pet packages including libraries and other dependencies)
